This paper presents a novel maximum margin clustering method with immune evolution (IEMMC) for automatic diagnosis of electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmias. This diagnostic system consists of signal processing, feature extraction, and the IEMMC algorithm for clustering of ECG arrhythmias. First, raw ECG signal is processed by an adaptive ECG filter based on wavelet transforms, and waveform of the ECG signal is detected; then, features are extracted from ECG signal to cluster different types of arrhythmias by the IEMMC algorithm. Three types of performance evaluation indicators are used to assess the effect of the IEMMC method for ECG arrhythmias, such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Compared with K-means and iterSVR algorithms, the IEMMC algorithm reflects better performance not only in clustering result but also in terms of global search ability and convergence ability, which proves its effectiveness for the detection of ECG arrhythmias.

Zhu et al. (2013) studied ECG arrhythmias. IEMMC algorithm (maximum margin clustering method with immune evolution) vs. K-means and iterSVR algorithms was evaluated on Clustering performance (sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy). The IEMMC algorithm demonstrated better performance in clustering results, global search ability, and convergence ability compared with K-means and iterSVR algorithms for detecting ECG arrhythmias.
